Easter Sunday

The Road to Emmaus

Sunday morning, the Sabbath is over, women come to the tomb where they buried Jesus and find the tomb empty. Later that day two disciples are leaving Jerusalem heading for Emmaus.  Their hearts are heavy – they thought Jesus was the one who would change the world and he was crucified. They meet a stranger along the way – and what unfolds changes their world.

There is a lot to unpack in these verses, so grab your favorite beverage and take some time on the back porch.
